Fast food bucket

  • Put into your blue cart or take to a community recycling depot

Put empty and clean paper fast food buckets and paper lids: 

  • Into your blue cart for recycling
  • Take to a community recycling depot

Special instructions

  • Put all food scraps into the green cart for composting.
  • Some grease on cardboard is ok.

Why can't this be composted?

Fast food buckets have a plastic lining to prevent the container from becoming soggy. To ensure we are creating the highest quality compost possible, leave this item out of your green cart.
